graph bar hours, over(occ7) asyvar
ylabel(30(5)45)
We can use the
ylabel()
option to
label the
y
-axis. In this case, we label
-axis from 30 to 45 by increments
of 5. See
Options : Axis labels
(256) and
[
G
]
axis label options
for more
details. Please disregard any references
to
xlabel()
since that option is not
valid when using
graph bar
. Note that
the
the
y
-axis still begins at 0. See the
following example to see how you can
control that.

We can add the
angle()
option to
modify the angle of the
45
y
-label, making
the labels for the
y
-axis horizontal (zero
degrees).
